Camp David has one primary purpose: Presidential privacy. Unlike the White House where people come and go, strict logs are kept of all (well, most) visitors, and rumors can spread and leak like a sieve, Camp David is pretty much the opposite. Nobody comes or goes without permission from the president. Visitor logs are easily redacted. It’s the most private place the we know of where presidents often go.
That’s why Joe Biden took his son, Hunter, to the 125-acre retreat for a one-day trip. He wanted to talk about something without prying eyes or spies. He likely wanted to talk to other people without the press catching wind. The question is, why?
Before we offer some theories, here are the details about the trip via our news wire:
Joe and Hunter Biden’s Camp David Trip Draws Questions
The White House faced criticism on Saturday following reports that Hunter Biden had joined his father, President Biden, on a trip to Camp David. This came in the wake of bombshell allegations of political corruption made by a whistleblower, as well as Hunter Biden’s recent guilty plea to federal tax charges and his agreement to a plea deal on a felony gun charge.
The House Ways and Means Committee had recently shared details of an interview conducted with an IRS whistleblower last month. The whistleblower had provided a WhatsApp message from 2017 in which Hunter Biden allegedly told a Chinese business associate that he and his father would ensure consequences if their commitments were not fulfilled. The message, revealed by IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley, stated Hunter Biden’s intention to use his connections and influence to hold a grudge against the associate.
Conservatives on Twitter pointed out the close timing between the revelations and the joint travel of the father and son to Camp David. Some criticized the alleged collusion between Hunter and Joe Biden, highlighting the ongoing allegations of corruption and the plea deal Hunter had reached with the Biden administration. The decision to bring Hunter to the White House for a state dinner and then to Camp David was seen by critics as a questionable move, considering the serious allegations against him.
President Biden has consistently denied discussing foreign business deals with his son, despite evidence suggesting otherwise. The whistleblower testimony emerged just days after Hunter Biden reached an agreement with the Justice Department to plead guilty to tax-related charges and to enter into a pretrial diversion agreement for a firearm possession charge.
Critics questioned the purpose of Hunter Biden’s presence at Camp David and speculated about confidential discussions and undisclosed legal advisers. Some also raised concerns about the security implications and the short duration of the trip.
In addition to accompanying his father to Camp David, Hunter Biden was listed as a guest at a state dinner for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his wife. Footage showed Hunter Biden mingling with prominent guests at the White House event.
When asked about Hunter’s presence at the dinner, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre declined to comment, citing it as a personal family matter. The White House did not respond to further requests for comment.
What Was Discussed at Camp David?
Here are my theories, listed in order from least to most likely:
- Discuss Plans to Fake Hunter’s Coming “Disappearance” — Okay, so this is obviously the least likely possibility, but we ARE talking about the Biden Crime Family. A sudden disappearance or even faked demise of Hunter would solve a whole lot of Joe’s problems as corporate media would have even more reasons to not look into the family’s corruption. The UniParty Swamp would have an excuse to force conservative lawmakers to stop investigating out of “respect.”
- Hunter Is Blackmailing His Dad — It’s always been in the back of my mind that Hunter has to have something tucked away about his dad. We know he has the goods to burn the patriarch, but is he smart enough to keep it secured somewhere as a threat to keep old Joe from discarding him?
- Discuss Options to “Disappear” Whistleblowers Past, Present, and Future — If making Hunter disappear is off the table, then making those who can implicate the family might make sense. It’s no surprise that Joe’s sexual assault accuser recently defected to Russia. It’s also no surprise that at least two of the Biden whistleblowers cannot currently be found.
- Lay Out Threat Analysis to Attorneys and Other Lackeys — The “mainstream” theory is that Joe and Hunter simply needed to strategize with their attorneys about whatever is to come.
- Convince Hunter to Sacrifice Himself for the Family — With so many crimes coming to light on practically a daily basis, it seems to me the most reasonable response is to convince Hunter to take the blame. Most will disagree that this is the most likely scenario, but I actually believe it’s close to a 50% chance that this is the winner. The floodgates have opened. Even their corporate media lapdogs are asking questions about it. If they’ve come to the conclusion that they won’t be able to “disappear” all of the whistleblowers and witnesses, or that there is incontrovertible evidence of crimes by Joe, then their only recourse is to make Hunter the scapegoat. Joe will promise a pardon after the 2024 election. Hunter will have to keep his mouth shut. He’ll also want reassurances that he won’t be shivved in prison. But if all that can be worked out, expect the DOJ to “get tough” and go after Hunter in the coming weeks.

Two Storms, One Harvest
Every food crisis in living memory has been a one-shock event. The 2008 price spike was a commodity bubble. The 2020 shortages were a logistics failure. The 2022 grain scare was a war on one exporter’s ports. Each time, the system bent, adjusted, and recovered, and each time the experts assured us afterward that global markets are simply too big and too diversified to fail.
What nobody in Washington seems eager to discuss is that 2026 is shaping up to be something the modern food system has never actually faced. Two independent shocks, one climatic and one geopolitical, are converging on the same harvest cycle at the same time. Not sequentially. Simultaneously.
Start with the weather. The Pacific Ocean is currently building toward what forecasters now openly call a record event. NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center puts the odds of at least a strong El Niño near 88 percent, with roughly two in three odds it reaches “very strong” status, the tier reserved for perhaps three or four events in the entire satellite era. Every major global model now projects a median peak in Super El Niño territory, and most of them project it exceeding the 2015-16 event, which until now held the modern record. Sea surface anomalies were already brushing the super threshold in mid-July, months before these events normally peak. The atmosphere has already shifted into El Niño mode, and the event is forecast to crest in late fall and early winter.
This is not about “climate change.” It’s about the standard cycles of weather, and the cycle we’re currently in is one that has likely devastated societies in the past. We’re better prepared as a society today, but not all Americans are equally prepared.
Serious households have started doing the quiet math on their own. Grocery bills tell part of the story, and the forecast maps tell the rest, which is why long-term food storage has moved from fringe hobby to mainstream line item in the family budget, with established suppliers like Heaven’s Harvest seeing demand from people who five years ago would have rolled their eyes at the idea. That instinct is not paranoia. It is pattern recognition, and the pattern is worth walking through carefully.
Editor’s Note: Heaven’s Harvest IS a sponsor, but the warnings of this article are real and would be written even if we didn’t have a survival food sponsor. With that said, those who take advantage of what they offer can use promo code “Patriot” for 15% off.
The Fertilizer Clock Is Already Running
While the Pacific warms, the second shock has been unfolding in the Strait of Hormuz. The conflict with Iran turned the world’s most important energy chokepoint into a contested waterway, and the consequences reach far beyond the gas pump. Roughly a third of global fertilizer trade moves through Hormuz, and the disruption sent urea prices up 86 percent year over year by March, with a 53 percent jump in a single month.
The World Bank projects energy prices rising about 24 percent in 2026 and fertilizer about 31 percent. By its own accounting, fertilizer prices ran 35 percent higher in the first five months of this year than the same period last year.
Here is the mechanism the nightly news will not explain. Fertilizer is not a grocery item. It is a time-delayed input. The nitrogen a farmer in Iowa or Punjab could not afford to apply this spring does not show up as a problem this spring. It shows up as a thinner harvest six to twelve months later.
The World Bank’s own food security brief concedes that the effects of reduced applications earlier this season “are likely to become visible only later in harvest outcomes.” Translate that from institutional language into plain English and it means this. The damage is already done, it is already in the ground, and we are simply waiting for it to arrive on the shelf.
Now check the calendar. Six to twelve months from the spring planting season lands us squarely in late 2026 and early 2027. Which is precisely when the strongest El Niño in the instrumental record is forecast to peak, bringing its signature droughts to Southeast Asia, Australia, southern Africa, northern Brazil, and South Asia, the very regions that grow the world’s rice, sugar, and oilseeds.
The World Bank warns openly that a strong El Niño “could disrupt multiple crop belts simultaneously” on top of the conflict-driven input costs. Their baseline projection assumes the Middle East disruptions ease by autumn. What in the last two years of Middle East history suggests that assumption is safe?
The System Has No Slack Left
The comfortable answer is that global markets always adjust. But adjustment requires slack, and the slack is gone. Global cereal production is expected to decline from last year’s records even before El Niño does its work. The UN World Food Programme, hardly a den of right-wing preppers, is calling this the most significant disruption to its supply chains since Covid and the invasion of Ukraine, and its supply chain director put the stakes bluntly.
Today’s supply chain challenges are tomorrow’s hunger crisis.
There is also a political dimension that markets cannot price. When food gets scarce, governments do not behave like economists. They behave like politicians. Export bans, hoarding mandates, and panic buying at the national level turned the modest rice shortfall of 2008 into a global crisis, and analysts are already warning that import-dependent nations are the first dominoes.
The 2015-16 Super El Niño, a far weaker event than what is now forecast, threw tens of millions into food stress across Africa and Asia. This one is projected to be stronger, and it arrives with fertilizer already rationed by price and shipping lanes already contested by missiles.
What Joseph Knew
Scripture does not treat preparation for lean years as faithlessness. It treats it as wisdom delivered in advance to those willing to act on it.
Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt: And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt.
Joseph did not respond to that warning with a hashtag or a committee. He stored grain during the years of abundance, and when the famine came, Egypt stood while its neighbors begged. The lesson is not that famine is certain. It is that the time to prepare is precisely when preparation still looks optional.
Nobody who filled a pantry in a year of plenty has ever regretted it, and nobody standing in an empty aisle has ever been glad he waited for certainty.
None of this calls for panic, and panic is the enemy of sound judgment anyway. It calls for the same unglamorous prudence our grandparents considered ordinary. Keep some cash margin, know your local growers, and put real food in deep storage while it is cheap and available, because the entire arc of this story is that cheap and available is a closing window.
Families looking for a straightforward place to start can visit Heaven’s Harvest and use promo code Patriot for 15 percent off long-term storable food. The forecasts may yet soften, the strait may yet reopen, and we should pray they do. But hope is a fine thing to hold and a foolish thing to eat.
